Just as Bai Qingqing was feeling baffled, she saw Curtis's head suddenly fall limp on the ground. The entire snake body too, abruptly collapsed on the ground, stirring up sand into the air.
Bai Qingqing subconsciously slowed down her pace from a sprint to a slow walk.
After a long while did she manage to let out a murmur, "Curtis?"
Is Curtis dead? Why is he lying there and not moving an inch?
Bai Qingqing absent-mindedly blocked out everything around, unable to sense the scorching sun above her head nor the scalding heat under her feet nor the piercing sunlight… in her eyes, there was only that giant snake lying stationary.
She mechanically moved both legs as she edged closer to the snake, with disbelief and refusal to accept it in her heart. However, tears flowed down from her eyes uncontrollably.
